The Great Kingdom of Khemet, commonly known as Khemet, is a vast empire consisting of the core territory in North Africa, and several colonies an vassals which are located in the Middle East and Southeastern Europe. Recognized as the most powerful nation on Earth, Khemet is both the largest and most prestigious of the African colonial powers, and is the dominant military power in Africa. It is the first of five other superpowers, though its closest rival, the Empire of Later Axum, appeared to be catching up to it. Since the Age of Colonization, Khemet, refusing to involve itself in the colonial games, sought to extend its influence at home and because of this detection, no other empire can stand before it alone.
